Sorry, All Hallows was commercial enough and now there’s the ‘killer clown’ nonsense, also an import this side of the pond sigh…So will give it a miss and have a quiet wickerman sacrifice at home. Blessed Be. Well might get out my heels for some – folk dancing. It’s astounding 🙂

The pictures “courtesy of InWorldz” were taken by me more than a year ago for a blog about a Roleplay region. They have nothing to do with Halloween. As a “journalist” you can’t just nick random images without proper attribution.
